answer:I think the things you suggested as an example are in away quite misrelated. Abortion for one is the ending of a life, normally with one person deciding. Perhaps the father wanted the child, and of course the child itself has no say in the matter at all. So to me that is murder. I know “progressive thinkers” will say, well it gives rights to the women and her body, and I am a woman, but what rights did the unborn child have? And those rights also can harm other people, in the ways I have mentioned above. With euthanasia I hear you. If I had an illness that only spelt pain for an extended period then death I would choose that option. I would feel that it’s my body and in the process I am not harming any one else. But am I? I know some people have kids, how hurt would they be? Unless they are too all for it, because of a deeper understanding and great emotional maturity and spiritual roundedness. Suicide? Well, many people get to that state in a high crescendo of emotionality, so their choice at that point is skewed. But again I hear you on this one. To be saved then sent back to the same miserable life that one has? And why do people scurry around whilst the “victim” attempts it, but not before. I have known many people suffer their entire lives because a brother or husband etc killed themselves. They are forever trying to understand where they went wrong. I am not sure this is selfishness. A nice question I feel, but surrounding it are so many people in most instances. He are hurt and wounded by these types of actions.
